Here he paints a powerful nude with background elements reminiscent of the late interiors of his long-time rival Henri Matisse.</p><p class="ql-block">Nude in a rocking chair is an unlikely combination of joyful light and colour and aggressive fragmentation. Picasso's compulsive exploration of the human</p><p class="ql-block">(often female) form here take on a violent distortion and dissection. The face has been relocated to the belly, with the navel as eye and genitals as jagged mouth - an image of a destructive feminine force in a broader composition of calm and repose.</p> <p class="ql-block">张大千</p><p class="ql-block">中国 1899-1983</p><p class="ql-block">莲花 1973</p><p class="ql-block">肉桂莲花1974年彩色石版画</p><p class="ql-block">由萨蒂斯·阿诺德先生借出</p><p class="ql-block">张大千被公认为中国现代绘画史上最多才多艺且作品最丰富的艺术家之一。他出生于中国四川省的一个罗马天主教家庭，后旅居日本、阿根廷、巴西、美国和台湾。张大千将这些经历融入艺术创作中，并尝试了新的技法。在20世纪60年代和70年代的加利福尼亚州，他从事平版印刷术的创作。这些莲花图案是1973年和1974年在旧金山创作的两组版画的一部分。这些平版印刷品被广泛传播，将张大千的艺术介绍给了广大的国际观众。</p><p class="ql-block">由于其能够从最浑浊的水中绽放出纯净而明亮的花朵，莲花象征着纯洁、蜕变与新的开始。</p> <p class="ql-block">张大千</p><p class="ql-block">Zhang Daqian China 1899-1983</p><p class="ql-block">Lotus 1973</p><p class="ql-block">Cinnabar lotus 1974 colour lithographs</p><p class="ql-block">On loan from Mr Satis Arnold</p><p class="ql-block">Zhang Daqian is considered one of the most versatile and prolific artists in the modern history of Chinese painting.
